Kash - Re: "I happen to think the AMD design guys are pretty good."

It is the NexGEN design guys who did the K6.

The AMD design guys - the ones that did the K5 and ORIGINAL - but ABANDONED - K6 - almost sunk the company. Most of these guys (Austin) have "left the company".

AMD had to go outside for a bailout.

Whether the K7 requires another bailout or not - we will have to wait and see.
